One of the most controversial actions taken by the United States government during World War II was the early 1942 relocation of about 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast and their internment for much of the duration of the war in well-guarded, isolated camps farther into the U. S. interior. Likely only the U. S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 that ended the Pacific War have generated more controversy than the Japanese-American internments. Approximately 40-percent of those interned were Japanese “resident aliens” (non-U. S. citizens, although many had lived in the United States for decades); but the majority, about 60-percent, were U. S. citizens of Japanese ancestry.

Yes, this is actually a good statement for all scientist and expanding farther beyond that. Science is expanding today and growing richer in content but the past discoveries and founders in science are the foundation which science will always stand on.

What will happen to freedpeople and other African Americans? Will they be citizens? Will they be permitted to vote and hold offi

zysi [14]

Answer and Explanation:

I believe you are referring to what happened to African Americans during the reconstruction of the south, when they were freed from slavery.

In that period, laws were established that prohibited African-Americans from being victims of discrimination and forced labor, although this still happened in society, especially episodes of discrimination. In addition, Africans have gained the right to vote, to be political representatives and to hold public office, as a reflection of their citizenship that was guaranteed through emancipation. Blacks could also participate in commerce, attend schools and own homes.
